It should become more like Dutch

The North Wind and the Sun were disputing which was the stronger, when a traveler came along wrapped in a warm cloak.
They agreed that the one who first succeeded in making the traveler take his cloak off should be considered stronger than the other.
Then the North Wind blew as hard as he could, but the more he blew the more closely did the traveler fold his cloak around him;
and at last the North Wind gave up the attempt. Then the Sun shined out warmly, and immediately the traveler took off his cloak.
And so the North Wind was obliged to confess that the Sun was the stronger of the two.

Too much to go into detail but make the written language match up with the spoken language. Meaning each sound has one and only one letter or set of of letter that makes the sound.
For example C is bad in two regards it makes two sounds and it makes sounds that other letters makes.

>Also only 15/113 of the words are Latinate, the text is just under 90% Germanic.

Now consider the fact that the only words that matter in giving the sense to a sentence are verbs, adjectove and nouns
Of course if you count the irrelevant "the", "at" "to"...etc 90% of the text is Germanic
But if you consider the words that actually matter it's much different
And keep in mind that this text was purposedly designed to be abnormally highly Germanic
In non cherrypicked ones, the proportion of Germanic words is even smaller

I don't think anyone calls English a Romance language. But English is definitely heavily influenced by both Latin and German. Did you take Latin back in high school? You can get by with pretty good marks just through having a decent English vocabulary.

>>2167883
English has zero German influence.

"Why, how call you those grunting brutes running about on their four legs?" demanded Wamba.

"Swine, fool – swine," said the herd; "every fool knows that."

"And swine is good Saxon," said the Jester; "but how call you the sow when she is flayed, and drawn, and quartered, and hung up by the heels, like a traitor?"

"Pork," answered the swineherd.

"I am very glad every fool knows that too," said Wamba, "and pork, I think, is good Norman-French; and so when the brute lives, and is in the charge of a Saxon slave, she goes by her Saxon name; but becomes a Norman, and is called pork, when she is carried to the castle hall to feast among the nobles. What dost thou think of this, friend Gurth, ha?"

>>2167883
>But English is definitely heavily influenced by both Latin and German

You got it wrong
You made French Latin (out of francophobia) and Germanic German (out of ignorance/nazibooism)
English is mostly influenced by French (words directly originated from Latin itself are very rarely used unlike French ones) and Germanic (=/= German, English and German have very little in common)

>>2167012
Those "irrelevant" words are crucial to the language.

>>2167923

nigga I hope you ain't serious

>>2167883
>Did you take Latin back in high school? You can get by with pretty good marks just through having a decent English vocabulary.

Except what you took for Latin influence was really French influence
The big majority of Romance words in English entered it through their French form, because of the French colonization between 1066 and 1485
Sure you can recognize Latin words too, since most of said French words ultimately originate from Latin, but the similiarity with French is even more striking
It's most of the time just one or two varying letters, and sometimes no difference at all.

>>2167980
You happen to be one of those faggots who confuse German (Deutsch) and Germanic
English has similarities with Norwegian (another Germanic language), but not with Deutsch

>>2167963
>>2167981

If A influences B which influences C, then A also influenced C.

>>2167980
Proto-Germanic =/= German

>>2167963
English and German are much closer related than English and French.

There's much more to a language than just word origin.

>>2167986
Isn't a dialect of Dutch the closest language to English?

>>2167986
English and Deutsch are both West Germanic.
Norwegian is North Germanic, but underwent changes very similar to English. So it's rather interesting.

What's with this French not Latin bullshit? It was clearly both.

>>2167995
Your thinking of the Friscian languages, and they aren't a Dutch dialect but a language in their own right.
They're basically English with no French-Latin influence, really cool.

>>2167987
Yeah, but in the case of the origin of English vocabulary, it's better to use the language from which words are directly originated
Because some words also entered English directly from Latin
They're very different from the Romance words that entered English directly through French as they are mostly very technical terms rarely used in everyday speech (genus, referendum, forum, calculus...etc)
Meanwhile, Romance words that entered it through French are much more basic and common (people, city, forest, river, place, point, use, able, person...etc)
That's why making the distinction is important

See >>2168004
The distinction is important

>>2168007
These graphs are very misleading as they take in account irrelevant structure words such as "the" "at", "to"...etc, which are more numerous than the sense-making ones
When you take only the sense making ones (Verbs/Ajectives/Nouns), you get a different result

See pic there >>2168014
The fact that "für" ressembles "for" and that "und" ressembles "and" won't help you to understand the text, while they heavy similarity between French and English adjectives/verbs/nouns allows you to get the general sense

>>2166189
Just go back to old English

English is fine how it is. Also, fuck language associations.

Vertboten is obviously 'forbidden' to an english speaker.

>>2167000
>Change the spelling of "phoenix" to "feenix"
x's function can be replaced by ks.

Spell it feeniks or fиniks

>>2168025
>structure words
>irrelevant
This isn't about which is more intelligible.
At the end of the day, both are unintelligible languages to us. French may have more words that are recognizable, but they aren't enough abd they won't make enough sense to form sentences. Then you get into sentence formation and German is closer in that.
Neither are intelligible to English, no matter the shared traits between any of them.

>>2168057
No need to lie fem (unless you're Dutch or Scandi)
The only words clearly understandable in the German texts are the Romance ones (nuklearem, katastrophen, staaten, militar, and zivilpersonen)
The rest are indecipherable for people who didnt study German except maybe for irrelevant shit like "und" and "für"
Meanwhile, the French text have several key words that are literally the same as in English

>>2166232
is this really how it would've been structured in old english though? Seems like you just changed the letters

>>2168096
It's not supposed to be Old English

>>2168014
"closely related" doesn't necessarily mean similar, it means the languages originated from a relatively recent common ancestor language which for english and german is proto-germanic. later influences through language contact - even though they significantly alter structure and vocabulary of a language - are not taken into account for a classification into language families, unless they result in creolization or mixed languages which is not what happened with english. english basic vocabulary is still mostly germanic

Tshurtsh. Done

Just pronounce things properly. Great should rhyme with meat. Knight should have extra syllables. We've just collectively decided that erroneous pronunciation is correct. Or we can change the spelling of things because of that collective decision and divorce the written language from etymological continuity and sense.

>>2166181
>English writing language
you mean orthography. don't equate letters with language.

>>2167923
English was certainly not lexically influenced by German to the same extent it was lexically influenced by French and Latin. English grammar is decidedly Germanic though, which has nothing to do with being influenced by the German language, but being descended from Proto-Germanic, from which German is also descended. It's like how humans didn't evolve from chimpanzees, we share a common ancestor with chimpanzees.

>>2169565
>Knight should have extra syllables
why? should be pronounced "kuh-NIG-it?" there's only one vowel in there, just pronounce the KN at the beginning as an onset and GHT at the end as a coda consisting of a palatal fricative followed by an alveolar plosive.

>>2166181
Dear Friends,

The United/European Union Commissioners have announced that an agreement has been reached to adopt English, rather than German, as the preferred language for American and European communications.

As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's and the United State's Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and they developed a five-year phased plan for what will be known as Euro-English.

In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c". Sertainly, sivil servants will resieve this news with joy. Also, the hard "c" will be replaced with "k". This will make English konform more klosely to German, which is a more proper language. Not only will this klear up konfusion, but typewriters kan have one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced by "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20 persent shorter.

In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent "e"s in the languag is disgrasful, so those would be dropd.

By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with " v". Vuns agan, zis is mor in kunformuns wiz German.

During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou", and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.
After ze fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech ozer. Ze drem vil finali kum tru.

Probably would use c to replace ch (since c traditionally was a k sound, which often became the ch sound) and x to replace sh (has a historical advance since x traditionally is ks, which in English words alternated at times with sk, which itself became sh in English).

>>2171692
Yeah I was thinking roughly the same thing. The letters could be re-purposed without loss, it's just that to me Q has the most limited functionality of any standing letter. It doesn't even really function.

>>2171692
What would Q be?

>>2171692
C sounds a bit softer than K when read. Words beginning in K sound more aspirated.

>>2171767
QU could be represented with Q alone, and all other instances of Q can easily be replaced with other letters, primarily K

>>2171786
Bullshit, that's something your autism imagined
The only difference is that words starting with C are generally of French origin while those starting with K are Germanic

>>2166181

Bring back the letter Þ. Th should not make the sound it does.

Better use of doubles, replace double m with μ, replace sh with ш.

Pointless, it's Eth we need back, Th is perfectly suitable for Thorn. I mean you could use Dh but that looks ugly.

>>2171848
No, that is a dumb idea. Why would you randomly replace "kw" with q yet not all other combos?

>>2171767
I don't know. Maybe for one of the j-type sounds (or maybe use q for ch, and c for one of the j sounds).

Q is used for loan words and foreign names also. It can also convey information about the specific phonetics of those words. It should be retained to preserve the knowledge of the original spelling of words containing Q for posterity rather than having those words altered into transcriptionary spellings. Certain Euro languages ceded to transcriptionary spellings of Latin loanwords after having used Q.

>>2172525
Although they were used interchangeably, Eð is more easily associated with a voiced dental fricative [ð] and Þorn with a voiceless dental fricative [θ]. At this point in history it would probably be more convenient to use Greek Theta (ϴ) or even Phoenician Ṭēt.

Aesthetic as fuck. Now we just need to get rid of all non-germanic words

Spell things phonetically and add more letters so that each letter only makes one sound.

It's pretty good.

Can a lithographic modern european language work?

The use of acute accent marks could be made more common in foreign proper nouns.

a lot; orthographies often go out of their way to represent the historical pronunciation of a word so its easier to work out its etymology and origin

this makes it easier to make compound words (information vs informayshun) and learn the meaning of new words increasing the vocabulary of the average person

but its fucked up on a lot of english words annoyingly, words like island where the is- represents isle
but island is germanic (like the eye sound in Swansea = Sveins Island, from norse) not romance so it makes no fucking sense

there are a lot of problems with english but the processes that caused this have given it a massive lexicon, gaurdian/warden guarantee/warentee, which gives it a greater subtlety of meaning compared to most continental languages

its a good thing that its fucked really in the long run especially as a native, its a crappy hegemonic language though

also seeing as it has many languages contributing to its vocabulary (nearly to a creole level) it would be a real clusterfuck to level the orthography and maintain any semblence of a words histrorical use and meaning

its not broken dont change it, our autism runs too deep anyway, we like our fucked up language its comfy

>>2170901
How the fuck does "ach" have a ch sound in it?

>>2174842
They're pretty similar given that a third of English vocabulary is French

>>2166531
turd?

>the vowels are too different between the different dialects to be given a one-to-one correspondence to letters, so just leave them unchanged except for removing silent letters
>but have all the consonants only correspond to one letter or digraph, C is only used for Ch
>reintroduce Þ and Ð
>remove and replace Q and X
There, a simple but effective reform that doesn't go into fucking around with weird, new letters or creating a orthography for just one dialect.

>>2176290
>X
Make it SH.

>>2176322
Nobody would like it because X looks weird as fuck at the beginning of a word. Also, Ch becoming just C would look a little different but not too much, completely replacing Sh with a random letter would fuck with the appearance of English too much.

>>2176333
And changing TH to Thorn or Eth wouldn't?

>>2176340
True. It'd probably be unnecessary and overly confusing. It's just such a shame they faded from the language.

>>2176348
Agreed.

>>2171044
Stop moving the goalposts and accept that English is Germanic.

>>2166531
Get rid of the word, and replace it with either "temple", "shul", or "Synagogue".

>>2168079
>Cyrillic in an Anglo thread.
Ree.

>>2177650
In the future everyone will write in a form of latinate phoenetic cyrillic, with certain symbols representing commonly used words similar to kanji.

Nigga dont tease me like that

That would be my languagefu especially if it allows for compounding kanji to make long complex compound words like mayan glyphs
